Wanna make 3D snowflakes?

I got super bored tonight and wanted to make a blog post so I decided to share one of my crafty nesting activities, lol. I also have a baby haul to edit and post soon!

I made these giant 3d paper snowflakes at work to decorate
above the coffee bar and thought I’d share how to make them. They’re
super easy to make and look great hanging up!

Step 1: Cut out 6 squares of the same size and fold
them in half to form triangles as shown below. They can be any size
depending on how big you want the snowflake to be, but smaller pieces
are harder to work with.

Step 2: Fold each triangle from top to bottom, as
shown. Then make three parallel cuts from the edge up to the center
fold. Make sure not to cut completely through the fold!

Step 3: Open them all the way up and they should look like this!

Step 4: Roll the edges of the inner diamond toward each
other and fasten with tape. Skip the second diamond and also fasten the
third diamond in the same way.

Step 5: Flip the piece over, face-down, and tape the
remaining diamonds the same way as the first two. It should end up
looking like this:

Step 6: After making three of these, pinch the ends and staple them together.

Step 7: Repeat step 6 with the remaining three pieces,
then pinch the stapled ends together (shown below) and fasten these two
together using a third staple. A mini stapler works best here.

Step 8: Roll small pieces of tape inside out (shown
below) and place them between the arms of the snowflake. In the circled
areas below you will see arms taped and not yet taped.

That’s it! You’ve successfully made a 3d paper snowflake!

Now try experimenting with different colored paper and different sizes.
Also try using a glitter or shimmer spray on them to add a little
sparkle! Enjoy!
